Fish Data Archives--Four Mile Creek Watershed

Four Mile Creek Watershed Fish Study Archives

For the last several years, Interdisciplinary Studies students
have been researching fish diversity in tributaries of Four Mile Creek in the
Miami River watershed (specifically, Harkers Run and Collins Run.) Sampling
efforts occurred in 2001, 2002, and 2003. Below are links to these previous
studies and data, in table format, from the spring, 2003,
sampling. Previous studies (prior to 2003) include calculations of diversity,
study conclusions, and data, in excel spreadsheet format.

I have included photos of the most common species for identifcation
purposes. With each picture, are ecologic generaliziatons specific for each
species. For instance, the presence of insectivorous fish may be a good indicator
of stream health. The hierarchy of images is as follows: each page starts with
"thumbnails," then a medium size image, and a very large image. To
proceed through the hierarchy, just "click"
on each slide. Special thanks to Donna McCollum (for her time and
expertise) and Chris Wolfe.
